Last week i put my header, High flow cat then welded the resonator onto the cat and ptu them on the car and made an appointment for a exhaust shop to do the rest for me. But just for the hell of it i took the car out for drive with just the glasspack. Picked up speed nicly and felt a nice gain from it. Now today i get my car back from the exhaust shop and they F*cked up and cut the glasspack off cuz suppostly it didn't fight right with it on cuz they couldn't get a bend tight enought with it there (yea ok whatever dicks). But now the car doesn't have that pick up and go anymore. Why is that with just the glasspack after the cat i felt more of a gain then i go with a full exhaust without the glasspack?
Noise its all in your head.

maybe it is all in my head. i dunno im to pissed at the shop to even notice much about the car.
Why did you said ok to that? you had a resonator and ask them to do the exhaust from there. You didn't had to accept the POS they did.

i dunno i just figured i'd put it on later and drive the car without it maybe i'd like the way it sounded. Would the little power lost i feel be because my CEL is on from the IAT? I kinda ripped the wires out installin a new intake.
glass packs = straight through muffler. The muffler has little holes on the outside of the pipe in it, and it's wrapped in fiberglass. The fiberglass absorbs some of the sound as the exhaust flows out. There is almost no restriction. Any other muffler you put on there will be more restrictive by far.
But I would think glass packs on an engine so small would actually cause a loss of torque down below 3000rpms... so I think you might just miss the sound
Jack up the car and look at the work, mabey they made a really tight turn, or used really small diam pipe, or pipe that is way to large (bigger than 2.5 inch).
What type of piping did they run? They might have done a crush bend, and made a really restricive bend in it?
Can you post a pic of the install? Maybe they botched the work? They wouldn't install your glasspack, who knows what else they might have done wrong...
yea they used crushed bends
. I'll post up pics later on when i get time maybe tomorrow
I'd take it back, Crush bends could be more restrictive than stock, even at a bigger size. I think you just got pwned by the muffler shop.
take it back man and tell them it wasnt done right, get rid of the crush bends ASAP!!!!
